"Negra"

Follow your heart.
Listen to that voice within.
Outsiders don't understand.
They can't answer the Call.
They only push and pull,
Leaning with trends
Of others, go-getters,
Setting the tone, the mood
Of all of them.
One person with unique concepts
Leads all the sheep
To the factory,
Ready to slaughter.

Dark laughter sounds,
Within those blood filled halls.
But where unique concept
Leads all the fold
To fall to their deaths,
One back peddling lamb
Changes all that I am.
A moment's pause and consideration,
Makes crowd milling and moving
No more important.
So to farthest fringes
I am flung.
Quite happily, laying here.
Warm in the sun.

I've joined the Dark Side,
All grown up,
For they offered Cookies,
Opprotunity,
And most of all,
INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM!

Brought about by the odd mix of people running in and out of the Terminal and the past trying to superimpose itself on the present once again. Just a moment's pure defiance and triumph. Plus a bit of heritage humor.

Oh very nice indeed. A lot of nuances and stuff, I like that. xD Haha... seriously, though, it is well written, that it is. :3 Somehow I had a feeling this was a poem to do with certain circumstances after reading the first few sentences/stanzas/whatever.

Mm... I am intrigued your title for this is what I THINK is the female form of the color, negro, in Spanish. Yes? < <;; The dark side it is! xD

Individual freedom is a great thing, that it is. *nod nod*

Yep, the title is the feminine form of Negro. It;s sort of a heritage thing and a bit of dark humor.
And I liked the sort of heart beat rhythm I gave the poem. It reminds me of drum circles and paying respect to ones roots while remaining an individual.
Its also a tad obvious about some of the more subtle points about things that have effected my life in the past few years. ^^;
